G'day

Great post on the recipies there kev

It always amazes me on HOW did pople ever find out that that was the way to cook an animal, or to make it better?

A bit like the story of, what was the guy doing when he discovered cows milk was drinkable and good for you?

The larger question for me Dave, is how come that knowledge became world wide?

Disregard the theories that man invented fire, or that it was a naturally occurring phenomena via lightning, and focus on just how wide the usage was. Just how, in a world where travel and communication was limited, did all the races learn to cook by fire? How was that discovery made universal when mere mortals couldn't communicate as they can now?

There's something to be said for Von Daniken's theories, despite him coming in for a lot of criticism. Whether you believe or not, he's a bloody good read when the wind's blowing

Why Do People Catch An Kill Fish Then Dump Them .although Mac Tuna Are Not High On The Menu Its A Great Waste Of Life. We Should Look After Our Resources. What A Disgrace.

Great waste of bait, cubes or burley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can feel no pity for vermin like Mack tuna . Don't worry there is plenty more where that came from.

One of the best books you will ever read regarding mankind's evolution is Guns, Germs and Steel. Amazing stuff in there.

Or..... considering its easter - have a look at the reference book on man's origins. If you follow that story - man could speak from the start, so no probs handing down info about fire.

Whoops... my beliefs are showing

Yes, but probs talking to others across the world who had a different language and who seemed to be using fire at the same time...........did they all have the same thought/discovery at the same time, or did someone/thing/deity communicate it to them?

Kev, maybe the aliens visited all the tribes after their work was done with the pyramids? lol

Seriously though, I don;t think we will never know, but didnt man originate from what we know as africa, when all the continents were joined?

Maybe the discovery was made back then and passed on as common knowledge from generation to generation.

But then again, most discoveries were made due to pure accident, but my history is shocking so i have nothing to back up what i have just said

Here's theology 1.01 Use of fire pre-dates differentiation of separate languages at the tower of Babel incident. Each language group dispersed with their own kind, and took all of their accumulated knowlege with them. Prior to that time I believe that all spoke a common language. Genesis 11:1 "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."

Are we treading on dangerous ground here - bringing up belief systems?

I'm not bothered, but others may be

I didn't see anyone say that they believed, or disbelieved, in anything.

I'm a creationist: http://www.crystalinks.com/creationism.html

I'm just not sure who did the creating

It would take months to read through this site from it's home page but it certainly gets one to thinking

Hey Kev, I just had a brief look at the first link. Some of the definitions of what a creationist is and what are the various types are, are just plain wrong. His bias shows. My bias also shows in my comments.

So my point is not whether its OK to be biased, but which bias is the best bias to be biased with in the first place. (This comment is not sponsored by a well-known chandlery either )

In other words - what glasses do you look at the world through. I have my glasses, others choose to view things through different lenses.

The second link merely moves the same question one step away.

[disorderly]

What was this thread about again?

Well I dunno mate I've been looking at the world through different glasses for years now, and although some are rose coloured, and some plain brown horn rimmed ones, they all have one thing in common.........either I didn't clean 'em properly or some bugger put up a smoke screen in front of 'em

I know the truth's out there.............I just can't seem to find it

There's just too many "unanswereds" in everything I've read but I suppose that's where "faith" comes into the equation.

Buggered if I know............something to do with BCF???........that one seems to stick in my mind a bit

Aah! You've read him then? Who did build those buggers? They can't even slide a razor blade between the bricks of the Aztec ones And here's me, thousands of years later, with all the technology to hand, and I can't even get a rapala to swim straight
